The day we shot this just might have been the windiest day I have experienced in a long while – perhaps ever – but in between mighty gusts, it was also one of the loveliest. Rows and rows of cherry blossom trees in full bloom, showering petals like pink fairy dust, was just a magical sight to
Kisses for the Admiral
Happy Tuuuuesday! So, this outfit post is all about keeping it classic, and playing with proportions. I paired a fitted, slightly cropped, cutaway blazer (double-breasted is backkk!) with a flowy shirt dress, over some tan, leather-like, coated skinnies. I also added leopard pumps for some print interest, and a little forest green as a subtle

16 Hour Style
In the fashion + blog world, the term “16 Hour Style” has been trending quite a bit, and for good reason – most women out there are juggling home, work, fam, and friends like super heroes, and need an outfit that can step up and keep up. Now that the holiday season is upon us, outfits
Trees + Trim
‘Tis the season to deck the halls! For us, this past weekend was all about getting the decorations out, and picking out a tree – my favorite time of yearrrr! Two things you should know: 1. I ordered a bunch of fresh garland from costco.com, and then found some way, way cheaper at a real-building-Costco,
Plaid on Plaid Prepster
Wow. When we shot this just a few days ago, it was sunny and slightly warm-ish, but we woke up to snow on the ground this morning! Our first snow of the season! As I type, it’s still snowing, the fire is going, I’m talkin’ ’bout plaid, and I miiight or might not be humming
Print on Print + Chambray
So, I wore this matching-print top and skirt at New York Fashion Week, back in early September when the weather was warrrm, and decided I wanted to fall-ify it. I added a some chambray, some thigh boots, and was feelin’ a little retro that day, so I went for a 60s vibe, too! Why not?
Fall Neutrals + Cobalt
Speaking of camel coats (from my somewhat recent “Fall Staples” shopping post), I just purchased my first one ever! I went all out, too, with a luxurious, polyester blend from…. Forever 21. I know, I know. Camel coats are timeless, classic, worth an investment, and all that, but for me, I honestly wasn’t sure how often
Sassy-Casz
Whew! We’ve been busier than ever here at SMP, and the enormous, juicy-sweet cherry on top is that we’re attending Mercedes-Benz Fashion Week next week!! We just received our press credentials this week, and could not possibly be more thrilled!! Look out New York!! Deep breath. In everyday news, here is my casual, office/meeting look this
Edge-up Your Work Style
We’ve covered punch-up your work style, so why not try edging it up a bit? I decided to try this with three key pieces: skirt, top, and shoes (but you could certainly opt to try just one!). I love the wrap skirt! It has a similar look to your classic pencil, but packs a little
